Time has certainly not made a difference in the presence of fear in the workplace...I've been saving this for a post of my own but you gave me the opening to share it now.
&ldquo;In the office in which I work there are five people of whom I am afraid. Each of these five people is afraid of four people (excluding overlaps) for a total of 20, and each of these 20 people is afraid of six people, making a total of 120 people who are feare...]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Training &amp; Development</category><category>Recruiting</category><category>Talent Management</category><category>Management &amp; Policy</category><category>Leadership</category><category>Diversity</category><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><category>Employee Engagement</category><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jun 2012 19:37:28 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/WORKING-SCARED#61840</guid></item><item><title>Louise: I am grateful to you for the tim...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/The-Management-Model-You-Can-t-Manage-Without---Part-2#61798</link><description><![CDATA[Louise: I am grateful to you for the time, energy and creativity it takes to put together a post such as you past two on the New Management Model. It is clear to me that many of us have intuitively suspected what David Rock and others are now showing us to be true with science. I doubt that initially this will make anyone's life easier but eventually we need to dive in and learn how to manage as Rock is asserting we must. Either that or fade away.

Your sharing here is an act of generosity for which I am deeply grateful.&nbsp;
There is so much we have yet to learn about what it means to be human, not the least of which may be an inherent ability we all possess to join with another person at a level so profound that we in fact become each other to some degree. I choose to believe that those episodes of emotion wh...]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Social HR</category><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:41:18 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/When-Death-Takes-You-By-Surprise#61797</guid></item><item><title>Jerry: She was beautiful, she always wil...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/A-Death-in-the-Family#61785</link><description><![CDATA[Jerry: She was beautiful, she always will be. Thank you for the generosity of your sharing with us.
I have difficulty expressing just how much being part of your community means to me. Over the past year or so I have connected with other writers here and have been regularly impressed by their openness and willingness to contribute. In part I attribute that to the spirit you have brought to all of us, a spirit that shows in this communication.Do not rush to catch up, please savor the moment and ...]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category /><pubDate>Tue, 06 Dec 2011 03:34:44 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/A-Death-in-the-Family#61785</guid></item><item><title>Louise: To me the most important aspect ...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Because-I-Said-So--The-Slow-Death-of-Authoritarian-Leadership#61772</link><description><![CDATA[Louise: To me the most important aspect of this very thoughtful and informative piece is that it prompted me to look at myself. I have been a proponent of distributed leadership for years but honestly as I read your piece I realized that my thinking was limited to that distribution occurring within the existing framework, top down.
I have been both intrigued and confused by the Occupy movements. Intrigued because people are taking their concerns to the streets and making them public. Confused b...]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Training &amp; Development</category><category>Recruiting</category><category>Talent Management</category><category>Management &amp; Policy</category><category>Leadership</category><category>Diversity</category><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><category>Employee Engagement</category><pubDate>Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:42:17 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Because-I-Said-So--The-Slow-Death-of-Authoritarian-Leadership#61772</guid></item><item><title>Sharlyn: I am so happy you wrote this pi...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/The-Reason-Your-Company-is-In-Business#61561</link><description><![CDATA[Sharlyn: I am so happy you wrote this piece, actually I am so happy you write all your pieces but this one in partuclar.

&nbsp;My personal preference when reading what other people write is to have my filed of vision expanded or my base of knowledge deepened. I find both conditions being satisfied when I read one of your pieces.

I hope you are not serious with your question of our opinion on Kanter's assertions. I doubt there is any question about the negative impact on those left behind. My question is more one of ethics and who stands for the employees in the midst of these crises, not likely the HR folks I am guessing and unfortunately, if not them then who. There is always the question of the best interest of the whole over that of the individual ...]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Leadership</category><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:23:43 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Power-Corrupts---But-Does-Powerlessness-Also-Corrupt-#61274</guid></item><item><title>Derek: Sorry if this didn't come thru ea...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Is-There-Any-Hope-for-Pay-for-Performance-#61272</link><description><![CDATA[Derek: Sorry if this didn't come thru earlier. This is a solid post. Daniel Pink has done a great job in Drive of exposing the mythology of the perpetual truth of pay for performance. As for its persistence, my experience says a) it is something mangers understand and b) primary sponsorship continues to come from those who are either primarily motivated by $$$ or just don't trust people.]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Employee Benefits</category><category>Talent Management</category><category>Management &amp; Policy</category><category>Leadership</category><category>Social HR</category><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:04:03 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Is-There-Any-Hope-for-Pay-for-Performance-#61272</guid></item><item><title>Debra: Could we re-post this piece once ...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/What-comes-around-goes-around---or---if-you-want-help-you-need-to-give-help-40DCF341F2414F0CB5FA3F3F910FD0B8#61271</link><description><![CDATA[Debra: Could we re-post this piece once a month? It doesn't take much research to discover that the underlying principle on which all of nature rest and relies is interdependency. That the "rugged individual" is still a revered part of the business culture is for me merely the self-interest of an influential few dominating the voices of the rest.]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Talent Management</category><category>Leadership</category><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:56:42 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/What-comes-around-goes-around---or---if-you-want-help-you-need-to-give-help-40DCF341F2414F0CB5FA3F3F910FD0B8#61271</guid></item><item><title>Thanks for introducing us to Hugh, I sig...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Hugh-McLeod-explains-excellence#61262</link><description><![CDATA[Thanks for introducing us to Hugh, I signed up immediately.]]></description><author>Mike Cook</author><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:19:26 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Hugh-McLeod-explains-excellence#61262</guid></item><item><title>Hi Steve: As of today my regard for you ...</title><link>http://humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/How-Do-You-Measure-Workplace-Happiness-#61223</link><description><![CDATA[Hi Steve: As of today my regard for you has increased 5 fold. You are the first writer/consultant to use the term "weenie" in the way I do with my clients. Cyber high-five!

&nbsp;The term most of my clients have become familiar with is "weiner up" used when looking to defray responsibility or blame from oneself. 


&nbsp;Personally I think more of this type of language communicates much better than when we get all conceptual with people.
